Overview:

It's a harrowing human drama growing more urgent by the day. Hundreds of thousands of lives are at stake, among them tens of thousands of children in immediate danger of starving to death. As the world's attention swings between chaotic swoops and loops in global financial markets and rampaging looters stomping a glass-shard-strewn swathe through the UK's high streets, an epic humanitarian emergency is struggling for attention. Now, Foreign Correspondent shines a light on the famine in - and tragic exodus out of - Somalia. You can help.
